Is that a good thing?

When I started the hobby the textbooks taught that they were bad. Now it is thought that they are generally good. More than 99% of bristleworm species are beneficial and help to keep your tank clean. Just don't touch it with bare hands as it can give you a poison ivy like rash. They usually hang out under your live rock and may come out at night.
